How-to: Register SIP phones with your SmartNode by Marco Liechti

An exciting upgrade has been made to the most recent SmartWare release, R5.3: Up to three SIP phones can now be registered on every SmartNode, without the need for an additional license. This paves the way for everybody to test out the great SIP registrar feature. The feature has been released previously, but was only functional with the purchase of an optional software license key. Here are the steps you need to take in order to register a phone with your SmartNode:

Make sure you have SmartWare release R5.3 on your SmartNode. Get it free of charge from http://upgrades.patton.com.
Make sure you have a working SIP gateway configured. If you are not yet familiar with SmartWare release 5 and above, read the migration notes that point you to resources to manage the configuration differences, or study the R5.3 Software Configuration Guide.

For your convenience, we provide you a sample R5.3 configuration file for SmartNode 4630. It does NOT contain the registrar configuration: Click here!

To enable any phone to register with the SmartNode without password, create a "location service" and bind it to your existing context sip-gateway. You can copy/paste the below on the CLI of your SmartNode:

location-service SER_LOCATION
  domain 1 smartnode-gw
  match-any-domain

identity-group default
  registration inbound

context cs
  service sip-location-service SER_SIP_LOCATION
    bind location-service SER_LOCATION

context sip-gateway GW_SIP
  bind location-service SER_LOCATION

The SER_LOCATION is the database where all phones that register will be tracked. The SER_SIP_LOCATION service is the lookup function within context cs that allows routing calls between registered phones/extensions. Those two functions are separated on purpose.

The domain name "smartnode-gw" can be chosen arbitrarily. If your SmartNode has its own DNS name with SIP service record, make sure to use the right domain name. To strictly allow only registrations from a specific domain, remove the "match-any-domain" statement.

Last, to make sure registered extensions can be called both from ISDN and from SIP, you need to adapt call routing as follows. You can copy/paste the below on the CLI of your SmartNode:

CONGRATULATIONS YOU‘RE DONE! Register your SIP phones now.
- Enter the SmartNode‘s IP address or domain name as "registrar" on the phone
- Enter the desired extension number as "identity" on the phone, e.g. 501, 502 etc
- To see if the registration was successful, type "show location-service SER_LOCATION". This will show you all active locations.
- Please note: On some SNOM phones, you‘ll need to check the Identity->SIP option "support broken registrar" option. We‘re working to correct this:
If you want to limit registrations to specific extension numbers, remove "identity-group default" and add "identity" entries for each allowed extension. The following lines present an alternative configuration of the location service compared to step 4 above. They only allow registration of extension 557:

location-service SER_LOCATION
  domain 1 smartnode-gw
  match-any-domain

  identity 557
    registration inbound

If you want to add authentication to either the default entity group or a specific entity, add and use an authentication service. The following lines present an alternative configuration of the location service compared to step 4 above. They only allow registration of extension 557, and ask for authentication through password "myPassWord":

authentication-service SER_AUTH
  realm 1 smartnode-gw
  username 557 password myPassWord

location-service SER_LOCATION
  domain 1 smartnode-gw
  match-any-domain

  identity 557
    authentication inbound
      authenticate 1 authentication-service SER_AUTH username 557

    registration inbound

The location and authentication services are powerful tools that allow you much more than just registering a SIP phone. Please visit the following sources for more detailed information:
